Not sure just how far along I am. I have an US appt this Friday to check for proper growth, hb, & fetal pole. I also recently found out that I have bacterial vaginosis, I have my prescription for it, though I have yet to get it filled mainly because I don't have the money to do so, and also I am scared to take the medication while I'm pregnant nonetheless early in my pregnancy. My obgyn said its fine to take it, but I'm still nervous. I heard that the infection can cause birth defects if not treated as well as termination of pregnancy...I honestly don't want to think negatively but I can't help but worry. Has any of you ladies had this issue, please help. I will be ableto get my prescription filled nxt week when my fiancee gets paid, just don't know how much damage it may have already caused, or how long I can keep going being untreated. I don't want to hurt my baby. This is my saddest post ever, and I don't know what to do.
Re: Pregnant and I have BV. So Scared!!!
I would 100% take the medicinfilled and I am a very big anti-med person while pregnant. Find a way to get the script filled. How are you going to be able to afford other medical issues if they arrive or the birth?

Speak to your doctor about your concerns. If you do not trust your doctor's decisions, then it is time to get a second opinion.
Pregnant women are more prone to bacterial infections, so lots of pregnant women take antibiotics during pregnancy. Don't worry about taking the meds; it's way better than leaving the bacterial infection untreated.
As far as not having the money to fill the meds, I think you should talk to family members and see if they will let you borrow the money. If that doesn't work, tell your doctor and pharmacist the situation and see if they have any advice. I wouldn't wait until next week to begin treatment.
